Six Sigma Business Training Nets Results for Military

(KCPW News) Earlier today on KCPW's weekly business show, The Bottomline focused on Six Sigma Training and how it can save money for both public and private enterprises -- even the military.

Excellent show. The interview with Colonel Mike Petrash about 3 minutes in is the highlight of the show. I also enjoyed the "Voice of the Soldier" leadership project example from Col. Adele Connell. It is comforting to know that the Army is doing all they can to keep soldiers safe, including using the time-tested Six Sigma methodology! Go Army!

What a wonderful show. This is truly an inspiring message to all fellow "Six-Sigma" Belts. It would be great to hear more, specifically about an actual six sigma project success story in the military. Thanks !
